I Soaked My Feet in Apple Cider Vinegar for 15 Minutes—Here’s What Happened.For years, I dealt with aching feet, cracked heels, and dry skin. Lotions helped only so much—until I tried a simple home remedy: soaking my feet in apple cider vinegar. Why Apple Cider Vinegar? Known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, apple cider vinegar can soften calluses, remove dead skin, reduce odor, and ease swelling. It’s especially helpful for older adults dealing with dry skin, poor circulation, or fungal infections. My 15-Minute Foot Soak

I mixed 1 part apple cider vinegar with 2 parts warm water, added a few drops of lavender oil, and soaked my feet for 15 minutes. A slight tingling told me something was working. After drying off, I used a pumice stone—dead skin came off easily. My feet looked and felt smoother, cleaner, and healthier. Even the itchiness between my toes vanished.

Why Seniors Should Try It
As we age, foot care becomes more than cosmetic—it supports mobility and comfort. Vinegar soaks can:

Exfoliate rough skin
Fight odor and fungus
Reduce swelling
Boost circulation
Provide soothing relief
Tips & Frequency
Do it once or twice a week. Always moisturize after to avoid dryness. If you have diabetes or open wounds, consult a doctor first.

Final Thoughts
This $3 remedy worked better than expensive creams. It’s now part of my weekly routine—and a small way to thank my feet for carrying me all these years.
